Lovely performance of this great 20th-century classic! Do I guess correctly that the group is the Ensemble InterContemporain? -- Whatever else you can say about Pierre Boulez, you can count on his performances being technically perfect and perfectly in tune, and that's no small thing in this music. A player in one of the London orchestras was heard to say years ago, "I think it's time for another Boulez servicing!" ("Servicing" being British English for an automobile tune-up.)
@iristacrat Your are, right she sounds good, in her case at least you got a good ear! ! Her name is Anna STEIGER though. Also having problems with your eyesight? Too bad you have to give these comments to get noticed :)
hm... Je connais assez bien ce cher "suasoires" et je dois dire que ni son bon goût ni son âme ne sauraient être remises en question par quelqu'un dont l'ouverture d'esprit ne semble pas lui permettre de pouvoir assimiler une musique qu'il ne comprend pas dès le premier abord... Et puis... je vois que tu es médaille d'or de Lyon... Désolé pour toi que tu aies raté le concours d'entrée à Paris! :-D
Is this music hated because we belong to the next generation? Bach's sons generation abhored of stuffy old Bach's music... Some of this sounds old-fashioned, edgy like old, rusty metal structures. But what came after these artists, Varese, Xenakis, Stockhausen, is minimalism...Glass, Reich... pretty bland stuff. I think I stick to these guys.

She certainly has famous parents, both great actors - Rod Steiger and Clare Bloom!
I Have always loved and admired these two lieder of Varese. The instrumentaton is rendered particularly clearly by the conducting of Boulez.
What a find! Thanks for contributing this, a real cultural service.
Another great work we never hear.
Wowie Zowie! Fantastic.
I very much enjoyed your performance here (and the performances of your parents in films).
WOW! This is great!
very well sung from this superb singer!
this is hot making of stellar musique and anna steiger realizes the vocal part brilliantly. brava!
Anna Streiger ❤❤❤
A gozar con varèse!!!😉😉

1991 concert recorded at the Alte Oper Frankfurt. Realisation of Helmut Rost.
Has anyone else realized the conceptual continuity (quote) from Ameriques at 5:21 ?
I did! Actually in both songs there are many quotes from "Amèriques".
A truly masterpiece!
stupendous! got any more Boulez?
What I find to further the irony is that one of the videos in laurion's favourites list is "Interview with Arnold Schoenberg".
Tut tut tut
Does somebody have a video of Lachenmann or Eliot Carter? Thanks for this one by the way, very nice performance
Lovely performance, thank you! Btw, you look like a pretty female version of your your late father. 😁😁👍👍😍😍

lovely voice, please do post some more of yourself, if you have the means!
I like it - sort of like Wagner on LSD!
Yes. Wagner on LSD was well-said. The soprano is quite good, however.
